Metropolis, the city of Clark Kent, Lois Lane and The
Daily Planet, gets its name from the 1927 German
expressionist science-fiction epic – a movie masterwork of
Fritz Lang (1890 – 1976). Superman’s alter-ego is a
nomenclatural mashup of American film actors Clark Gable
and Kent Taylor.

In art, as in all areas of life,
self-determination and expression – freedom
- is elemental.
